Screencast of the Week - Len Charnoff and Bing
Posted on Sunday June 7, 2009 by Betsy Weber
I was poking around on Twitter the other day and this tweet caught my eye.

Recently Microsoft launched some new technology called Bing. So, Len Charnoff's tweet about Bing caught my eye. I was curious about Bing - It's a new search engine. And, as you know, screencast is a perfect way to show new technology off in action. In addition to reading about new tech, I really like to see the new tech in action.
Len Charnoff has made not one, but three screencasts reviewing some of Bing's new features. Len's screencasts were perfect timing for me so I could see Bing in action before trying it. I also like Len's use of title slides, transitions and callouts.
In his first screencast, Len reviews Bing's free 411 information service (a voice activated information service from Microsoft - 800-246-4411). He shows off how to find a restaurant. Very useful for someone like me who travels a lot and is frequently lost (it gives directions!). :-) You can view the video here.
He also tests out the Weather and Traffic sections of Bing 411 in this screencast here. He has an update to the Traffic portion of the screencast here
You can learn more about Len here.
Congrats Len for being our Screencast of the Week! You have bragging rights! :-)
Any nominations for next week's Screencast of the Week? You can even nominate yourself if you like.

Hi Betsy,
